Laser Facial Vein Removal Reviews

''I had been very concerned about a patch of thread veins on my right cheek. The advice I received was comprehensive and I undertook the treatment in complete confidence.

The results were extremely pleasing, side effects minimal and advice on aftercare very thorough. I would recommend Good Skin Days & their facial thread vein service very highly.''

Laser Facial Vein Removal Patient Information

Facial Thread Veins or ‘broken veins’, are visible red blood vessels, which appear close to the surface of the skin. They are most frequently located around the nose, cheeks and chin and tend to become more noticeable with age. There are many causes; including repeated exposure to UVA (the sun or sun beds), extremes of temperature, hormonal changes during pregnancy, radiotherapy, family history and topical steroid creams. Facial Red Veins have also been associated with Rosacea, a common skin condition.

At Good Skin Days, we use the latest laser technology available in order to treat you. We have the Iridex Aura Laser (KTP) and the Cynosure Cynergy laser which combines the Pulsed Dye and Nd:YAG systems. Both these lasers work effectively on Facial Thread Veins by matching the laser light to the colour of the vessel. The laser light is absorbed by the red pigment (haemoglobin) contained within the blood cells in the red veins. The light releases heat energy within the vessel, causing the tiny vessel walls to stick together and wither away in the tissue. This process is called photothermolysis, meaning that the laser light only interacts with the unwanted vessel and completely bypasses the surface of the skin.

Prior to Treatment

To ensure that you receive the best possible results, preparation prior to treatment is a vital part of the process.

Please ensure the treatment site is free from make-up, perfume and fake tan.

Please inform your practitioner if you have had any sun / sun bed exposure in the last eight weeks.

Please notify the clinic in good time of any medications that you are taking. Taking certain prescription medications (for example, Roaccutane) may mean that you cannot be treated.

Please notify your Practitioner if your medical status changes or if you become pregnant.
